God’s Love And Passion For All People
God’s Love And Passion For All People
God’s love is boundless and unconditional, reaching out to all people regardless of their background, past, or circumstances. God’s love transcends human understanding, offering grace, compassion, and forgiveness.
God’s passion for humanity is evident in His desire for all to experience His peace and salvation. He longs for a personal relationship with every person in the world, showing a relentless pursuit of their hearts and well-being.
God’s love is not based on merit but on the inherent value God places on each individual, making His passion for them unchanging and eternal.

God Wants All Men To Be Saved
“God wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” – 1 Timothy 2:4
“The Lord is … not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” – 2 Peter 3:9
God has a strong desire in His heart and a passion for every person to have a restored personal relationship with Him. And to have peace with Him and eternal life with Him in heaven.
“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Roman 5:1

God’s Passion To Save All People
How strong is God’s desire and passion for all to be saved ?
It is so strong that He sent His son Jesus to suffer terribly, and to die a horrible death on the cross. To pay the price for our sins, and to take the punishment that we deserve. And to make it possible for us to have a restored relationship with God
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

It Breaks God’s Heart That There Are So Many Lost People
It breaks God’s heart to see people that are separated from Him, and that have a broken relationship with Him because of sin. God’s love and passion is so strong for lost people, that He weeps for those that are without Christ. And for those that have rejected His son Jesus and a restored relationship with Him.
Luke 19:41-42 – “And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”

We Need God To Touch & Change Our Hearts
This needs to break our hearts as well. So that we, God’s church and His servants, will work hard to reach out in God’s love and share the Good News of Jesus with others. There is very little passion in too many Christian’s hearts for God. And little to none for the lost.
Matthew 22:36-39 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
It is not only important what we do, but why and how we do everything. The vast majority of Christians never share the Good News with others. And never participate in God’s mission to reach a lost world and make disciples. And are “going through the motions” in their relationship with Jesus.

There Are Over 7 Billion Lost People Today
Statistics show that there are well over 7 billion lost people in the world today. And many of us never even think about people outside of our little worlds. And it certainly does not break our hearts. Over 7 billion lost people ! This breaks God’s heart.
We need God to touch and change our hearts. God needs to replace our sinful, self centered hearts with His heart, that is filled with love, compassion, grace, and passion for the lost.
Ezekiel 36:26 – “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances, and you shall do them.”
There is far too much apathy in the church today. Apathy for others, especially for those without Christ, and apathy for God Himself. When we have a personal passion for Jesus, we will have a passion for sharing Christ with others also. May God give us His heart. And His love and passion for the lost and for all others.
“The Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of Missions. The nearer we get to Jesus, the more intensely missionary we become.” – Henry Martyn (missionary to India in 1800’s)
“We were not saved from our sin simply so that we would qualify for heaven. God delivered us so we would have a relationship with Him through which He could carry out His mission to redeem a lost world.” – Henry Blackaby
